As Liu Jianping introduced him, County Magistrate Wang enthusiastically stepped forward, extending his right hand to greet Liu Yong. "I can hardly believe it," he said with a smile, "we have a dragon in our county! Welcome back, Mr. Liu."
Liu Yong shook hands with the County Magistrate, responding with gratitude. "Thank you, County Wang. My father is in the hospital, and I need to go home to check on him."
"I'm sorry to hear that," County Magistrate Wang replied sympathetically. "Let's make sure he gets the best possible care. I'll have my team contact the hospital right away."
Liu Yong thanked him, and they settled on a table and stools set up outside his house.
County Magistrate Wang asked about Liu Hongfu's health and then inquired about Universal Company. Liu Yong provided a brief overview of the company's current status.
"Your company is going to recruit a group of crew members, isn't it?" County Magistrate Wang asked.
"Yes, that's correct," Liu Yong confirmed. "We plan to recruit a total of 200 crew members in my hometown. Our company needs the extra workforce."
County Magistrate Wang's face lit up with excitement. "Leave the matter of recruiting the crew to me," he offered. "Anything you need, we will make sure it's handled beautifully."
"That's great to hear," Liu Yong said, relieved. "Thank you, County Wang."
After chatting for a while longer, County Magistrate Wang asked Liu Yong if he had any investment plans for the county. He even recommended several good projects to Liu Yong.
"My focus is on ocean transportation for the time being," Liu Yong explained. "I don't have any other investment plans at the moment."
County Magistrate Wang's expression showed a hint of disappointment, but he maintained his friendly demeanor. "No problem," he said cheerfully. "We'll keep in touch about any future opportunities."
Soon after, a group of curious villagers arrived at Liu Yong's doorstep to glimpse the county's highest official.
After half an hour of friendly conversation, County Magistrate Wang bid farewell and left.
After bidding farewell to the county magistrate Wang and his party, Liu Yong swiftly returned to the hospital. Zhou Xiuying had already packed everything that needed to be filled, and she locked all the doors before they left.
"Uncle Jianping, goodbye! Goodbye, everyone!" Liu Yong waved as he got into his car and drove off, leaving everyone behind to chat about his recent encounter with the county magistrate.
As Liu Yong arrived at the hospital, he asked Xiao Jian, "Is everything okay here, Director Xiao?"
"Yes, everything is under control. We have transferred Liu Hongfu to the VIP ward and have arranged for the best doctors and nurses to take care of him," replied Xiao Jian.
Liu Yong nodded in approval and said, "That's great. I will go and check on him now."
As they walked towards the VIP ward, Xiao Jian suddenly stopped and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Liu. The dean and several vice deans have arrived at our hospital and are here to visit Liu Hongfu."
"What? The dean and several vice deans?" Liu Yong was surprised by the news.
"Yes, they are here in person. I will take you to the ward to meet them," said Xiao Jian.
Upon seeing the dean and his entourage, Liu Langang initially had no idea what was happening. However, his quick wits soon allowed him to grasp the situation.
As they left the ward, the dean turned to Liu Yong and said, "Mr. Liu, we appreciate your concern for your father. We have seen that he is being well taken care of, and we are satisfied with the arrangements that have been made."
Liu Yong thanked the dean and his entourage for their visit and said, "I am grateful for your attention to my father's condition. If there is anything else you need, please do not hesitate to contact me."
After seeing off the dean and several vice deans, Xiao Jian breathed a sigh of relief. The test was finally over, and the dean seemed satisfied with their handling of the situation.
He also couldn't help but wonder who Liu Hongfu's son was, given that he drove a Cullinan and had the dean and several vice deans visit him. Lucky for him, he had been proactive and transferred Liu Hongfu to the VIP ward, and his efforts had paid off.
"Thank goodness I saw that car yesterday and transferred Liu Hongfu to the VIP ward," Xiao Jian thought, feeling lucky and relieved that everything had gone smoothly.
Ten minutes later.
When Liu Yong and Zhou Xiuying returned, Liu Lan immediately told Liu Yong about the situation just now.
"Liu Yong, you won't believe what happened while you were gone. The county magistrate Wang and several county leaders came to visit dad in person. It was such a big deal!" exclaimed Liu Lan.
Liu Yong raised an eyebrow in surprise, "County Magistrate Wang? Why did he come?"
"It's because of you," replied Liu Lan. "They came because you sent him a gift and a thank-you note."
Liu Yong chuckled, "I see. County Magistrate Wang really knows how to reciprocate."
Zhou Xiuying said, "I told you he was a good person. You didn't believe me."
Liu Yong smiled, "I didn't doubt his character, just his position. But it seems like I was wrong."
It's just that Liu Yong didn't expect that about 20 minutes later, the county magistrate Wang personally visited his father in the hospital.
A large group of people, in addition to the magistrate Wang and several county leaders, the director of the hospital, and several deputies, The dean is here again.
Xiao Jian was shocked again.
Even frightened.
"Director Xiao, why are you sweating so much?" asked the county magistrate Wang.
Xiao Jian wiped his forehead and replied, "Ah, it's nothing, just a little nervous to see such high-level leaders."
"Don't worry, we're just here to check on the patient. You're doing a great job taking care of him," reassured the county magistrate Wang.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your concern," replied Xiao Jian, visibly relieved.
Liu Yong couldn't believe his luck, "County Magistrate Wang came again? This is amazing."
Zhou Xiuying added, "Yes, it's such an honor. Your father must be feeling very important right now."
Liu Yong nodded, "I'm sure he is. I'm so grateful to County Magistrate Wang for his help."
The next day.
Liu Yong should go back to Huahai City. Today is also Monday. Both Liu Lan and Li Changle only took one day off. They need to go back today.
"Are you all packed and ready to go?" asked Liu Yong.
"Yes, everything is ready," replied Liu Lan.
Liu Yong turned to Zhou Xiuying, "How about you?"
"I'm all set too," said Zhou Xiuying.
Liu Yong then turned to Liu Hongfu, "Dad, are you feeling okay? You'll be transferred to Huahai City today."
"I'm feeling much better, thank you," replied Liu Hongfu.
"Good to hear. We have an ambulance ready for you and a doctor and nurse to accompany you," said Liu Yong.
"Thank you for taking care of me," said Liu Hongfu gratefully.
Before departure, Liu Yong drove to Li Changle's house in person, and besides taking Li Changle to Huahai City, he also planned to send a significant gift to his future father-in-law.
